Singing Saints, Instead of Sleeping Part 3

July 19, 2024 • Pastor Bill Gehm

How careful are you when you interpret the Word of God? There are countless examples in the history of the church where people found a cause and tried to support their cause through incorrectly interpreted scripture. Don’t make that mistake. In his message today, Pastor Tom uses the example of taking up your sword. That’s something we have to be careful with. The Bible is not calling you toward violence against your enemies. You need to realize that you should be putting on the full armor of God for a spiritual battle.

Are you living off the fire of a spiritual experience of the past, or are you seeking to have a new and fresh encounter with God? It’s easy to get stuck in the past. We all have had those times when we were inspired by God or a movement of His people, and we felt alive. In today’s message, Pastor Tom will challenge you to move on. Don’t live in the past. God wants you to sing a new song as the Psalms says. Remember the past, but don’t stay there. Seek to find where God is moving now and be a part of it.

Do you feel like singing and praising God when you’re going through a difficult time in life? It can be hard to thank God when we’re going through a trial. In his message today, Pastor Tom will encourage you to sing and praise God because God deserves it. God is good all the time. God is faithful all the time. Even when you can’t see it, God is faithful. Your emotions and how you “feel” on a particular day shouldn’t dictate whether you should be thanking God or not. He deserves your worship every day.

Hallelujah! Part 3

God can, has, and will pour out blessings on believers who commit completely to following Him and doing His will with their lives. No matter your past, and no matter your skillset, God can use you where you’re at with what you have. There’s no limit to the amount of hallelujah-inspiring works God can do through you, and today Pastor Bill is going to take you to Psalms to show you praises to God you can use yourself! He alone is worthy of all the praise and honor we could ever give Him.

Hallelujah! Part 2

July 15, 2024 • Pastor Bill Gehm

God’s love is so grand because it reaches us in such a low place. God’s love made a way for us to have eternal life through Jesus by the forgiveness of sins. God’s love is perfect and He has much of it for you. Today, Pastor Bill’s going to remind you that God is love. You’ll get to be reminded of what God’s love looks like and what He did because of His love for you. If just eternal life isn’t enough to justify singing hallelujah for as long as you live, then what is? Only God is worthy of our continual praise.

You might be on a journey to where God wants you to be for years before you see fruit from your work in Him. It may seem like too much time has passed since you last heard from Him. But, as Pastor Bill’s going to point out today, His joy can still be yours. Your life can be content and happy in the process of going through lessons or spiritually barren periods.

Regardless of outward appearances, regardless of reputation, and regardless of income, love is the foundation of the Christian’s life.

Today, Pastor Bill is going to remind you that this is good news! It’s news to be happy about! Christians have been set apart from the world as inheritors of eternal life. Our lives should look like it from our joy!

July 8, 2024 • Pastor Bill Gehm

Do you let The LORD have His way in your life? When you hear Him knocking, do you open the door? He’s waiting for you to say yes to Him so He can begin His miraculous work in you. He has amazing plans for you, and there’s no limit to what He can do through you for His Kingdom. But, as you’ll get to see today with Pastor Bill, it remains your choice to make. No one can force you to choose to follow God, but the decision is worth it. No one can force you to choose His ways over the world, but the choice is worth it.

How you look at any particular situation determines how you’ll react to it, too. Your perspective on the same topic can shift and change your whole outlook on it. Today, Pastor Bill’s going to show you that your reaction to those things that happen around you, no matter how they seem, is your choice. And when you make an effort to react in ways pleasing to God in all of those situations, you’ll find contentment waiting, the closer and closer you keep growing to God. But it’s your choice to make.

The circumstances of what’s going on around you can change and even be unpredictable. Trials and tribulations can come your way. Temptation can keep coming back. But, as Pastor Bill’s going to point out today, one thing is true through anything you face: How you respond to it is your choice. Do you want to use the hard times to learn lessons and grow, or do you want to only look at the suffering and hope for the day it ends? How you react to anything is your choice, and your responsibility to choose what’s right.

Desire for Revival Part 3

July 3, 2024 • Pastor Bill Gehm

God is a forgiving God. He alone can offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life, and He gives it freely. No matter what you’ve done or how badly you may have messed up in the past, God can restore you and get you through it. Today, Pastor Bill’s going to show you that it’s that forgiveness that makes people new, and it’s good news that’s meant to be shared with anyone who can hear it! Revival can’t start if no one hears about Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross so we can have eternal life with Him.

Revival happens when people hear about the good news of The Gospels: eternal life through Jesus Christ through the forgiveness of sins. It’s the news that the world tries to suppress, that Christians need to share. Today, Pastor Bill is going to encourage you to remember God’s Word throughout your day, to keep the desire going for revival again. Christians living their life as an example of how to live for God and sharing His Word with everyone they can are important for revival to spread.
